USE OF PYRIDOXINE DERIVATIVES IN THE PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF HYPERLIPIDAEMIA AND ATHEROSCLEROSIS

摘要

Pyridoxine derivatives and their salts, in particular pyridoxal, pyridoxal phosphate, pyridoxamine and pyridoxamine phosphate, are used in the prophylaxis and treatment of hyperlipidaemia and atherosclerosis. Exceptions are pyridoxine-5'-phosphoric acid glutamate and aspartate, which are described in DE 2,461,742 C2. Natural, highly compatible, chemically unambiguously described and adequately stable substances having good activity for long term treatments are thereby made available. The buccal administration form and enteric-resistant forms have proved particularly suitable.
